Volvo XC60

Professional Reviews

“As Arrival Vehicles go, this one gives the fashionistas something to look at: a high-waisted shape that flares dramatically as it sweeps back to huge sculptural taillights. Better yet, this visual entertainment takes place without encroaching on the capacity within.” — Car and Driver

“Volvo breaks the shackles of stodgy but can't quite make the leap to fun.” — Car and Driver

“We rated rear-seat comfort equal to that of the Audi and the Lexus at the top of the group, cargo space topped them all in our beer-case test, and the lightweight liftgate swung so easily that power assist would have been superfluous.” — Car and Driver

“The XC60's dramatic front end and rising beltline create a rakish, aggressive stance, while the deep draw of its shoulderline, and striking, high-visibility taillights make for one delicious posterior. Inside, the deeply grained leather panels, floating center stack, and classy control layout (including steering-wheel-mounted navigation controls and a remote control for the passengers) draw raves from our judges.” — Motor Trend

“High rear windowsills and small door apertures make the Volvo feel safe, but a bit claustrophobic - a tradeoff all our judges would gladly take for such a sharp-looking ride.” — Motor Trend

“Where did all this go come from? Engine pulls really hard; perhaps not as smooth as the others, but the power is really compelling.” — Motor Trend
